Mouldings by Paolo Marcuccetti©2010-2022
Set of parametric objects (PlugIns) Vectorworks® for the creation and management of corniches, frames, mouldings, handrails, wainscoting, millworks.
The moulding plugins are a set of tools that take advantage of the built-in Vectorworks® “extrude along path” bringing an easy to learn user interface, a vaste parameter customization and a well furnished Moulding Library (brought here thanks to Matthew Swett who has converted to Vectorworks® polylines and polygons the collection coming from the New England Classic® Molding line).
Despite the “extrude along path”, you can easily edit your creations:
An exhaustive manual in PDF and EPUB format is available to download or consult to get info about installation, usage and customizations.
Note: these plugins comes both in italian and english localisations. You'll find both in the downloaded folder. Just use the language you prefer and follow the installation instructions in the relative PDF manual.
The new version works only with Vectorworks® 2022 and includes new features and new profiles. Older version (IV) work with Vectorworks® 2019 (see note*), 2020, 2021.
Choose your profile from the 2300+ profiles in the library.
All parametric objects shares the same set of variables regarding the profiles.
Same as previous IV.2 version, just published on Gumroad® in Italian and German localisations.
Note: this update is only for Vectorworks 2022.
Note: this update is only for Vectorworks® 2022 and 2023.
Note: this update is only for Vectorworks® 2024.
(*) Note on versions: Plugins for versions of Vectorworks® prior to 2020 can no more be tested (from me), so they can not be more updated.
Versions 5+ are compatible only starting with Vectorworks® 2022, since the materials controls implementation requires VW2022+.
Localised version (German and Italian) may differ from the table below, please refer to the release notes.

By popular demand, I have just released a Mouldings plugins DEMO version, so you can evaluate them all and, in case, proceed to buy.
The DEMO plugins do all what the full version does, but they have, of course, some limitations.
Each time you change a parameter of a Mouldings object, a message shows up, reminding you that you are running the DEMO.
You can exit this dialog clicking the link button to this same page (with the chance to buy) or clicking Close.
The close button halts execution for 5 seconds, but after that, changes to the object are regularly applied.
Once you will buy the full version, I’ll send you the regular package. Then you’ll just have to replace the two folders above with the new ones and restart Vectorworks®, no need to edit the workspace again, your saved works will recognise the new plugins seamlessly.
After the payment is confirmed, your download should start immediately.

Important note:
Vectorworks® 2018, 2019, 2020 users should replace the file library MouldingsLib contained in Moulding-Models/Cornices with the respective ones contained in the folder Libraries for older Vectorworks® versions.
The MouldingsLib file is a standard Vectorworks® file containing all the profile symbols used throughout all mouldings plugins.
In order for the plugins to load the libraries profiles, the MouldingsLib file has to be in the same version as the plugins are working on, therefore, you must use the one contained in the downloaded folder for your appropriate Vectorworks® installed version.
